A budget-friendly gaming laptop can satisfy a bevy of use cases, ranging from catering to entry-level buyers or simply becoming a spare portable machine in case the primary unit ends up failing abruptly. If either one of the two is your daily requirement, then you have come to the right place, because we have the near-perfect deal for you in the form of the HP Victus. This 15.6-inch gaming laptop is currently 13 percent off on Amazon, and can be yours for just $489.99. However, since this is a limited-time offer, you must quickly decide whether you want to get this or not.
The IPS LCD has a 1080p resolution and sports a refresh rate of 144Hz. The build is made up of plastic, which is something you will always encounter for gaming laptops in this price range. Fortunately, you get a pretty decent configuration for what you are paying, as under the hood, you get a Core i5-12450H, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512GB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD. The star of the show is the RTX 2050, and it features 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
Let us tell you right now that this graphics processor is not going to be winning any performance records, but it can still deliver respectable framerates in competitive first-person shooters such as Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Overwatch, and others. You might also get away with playing AAA titles, just as long as you tone down the video settings, or else that 4GB of framebuffer will be used up quickly.
You get a healthy assortments of ports, ranging from several USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, an SD card reader and a USB-C port that, unfortunately, does not support Thunderbolt, but then again, what did you expect? If you are just getting into the gaming laptop space, or want a secondary machine in your possession, the HP Victus’ latest price cut is a salivating offer, but as we mentioned above, you will have to move with haste.
